Rittenhousing.

The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

I mean

Feels like we are dangerously close to US military firing on US citizens

Gen AI folks: ‘I use gen AI and you can’t stop me!’ Creatives: ‘They’re using gen AI.’ Gen AI folks: ‘How dare you bully me?!’ Creatives: ‘We’re agreeing with you. We’re just no longer going to support your “work” as it’s unethical.’ Gen AI folks: ‘How dare you.’ Creatives:

Kat just said "Just because Stephen Miller wants to hit his quota of brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't make this okay" about the LA protests on MSNBC. I wish I knew how to clip these things.

There’s no rioting or looting. Trump just says this shit.

It sucks that LA ends up being the distraction the administration needed from the Musk Trump fight and I'm sure a moody and publicly-cucked Stephen Miller is behind most of this

speed running summer 2020

Hope other countries are excited for the LA Olympics!

You know how the hero who punched Richard Spencer on camera was never found? And how great that was? Leave the skater punk alone. Let him become an archetype.

Very strange to see CNN air a montage that implicates them in the fall of democracy.

Hell of a photo

One continued obstacle to AI acceptance is that its biggest cheerleaders have the lowest fucking standards for anything as acceptable as long as they don’t have to pay for it or do it themselves. This AI country song is proof of that.

All, for those looking to follow what's happening in LA, here's ABC7 live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymmb...

End of An Empire sorta day

What is the city but the people?

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better

MAGA: It’s not fascism America: Rapidly turning into military war zones

I think it's worse/more nuanced than that. A lot of the "don't play into their hands" stuff is also coming from doomer leftists and liberals who convinced themselves that it's all over and Trump has won the 3D chess game. In this reckoning, protesting plays into his master plan of martial law.

I am so beyond excited to finally reveal this!! Say hello to The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a triple A title I'm managing and helping Owlcat spearhead as their flagship title :D

Anti-ICE protests continue to escalate in Los Angeles, as more residents take to the streets. photo via AP www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Many Border Patrol vehicles and other unmarked cars just exited the anti-ICE protest area in Paramount, California. They were met with fierce resistance from protesters, with a number of vehicles being visibly damaged.

Haven't seen a single post defending ICE. This is the exact bubble I want in social media.

Geoff: Can you believe it, a small team made a GOOD game? Crazy I know, ha ha that’s wild, anyway here’s a trailer

Once again, the citizens of Los Angeles and its activism are proving more substantive than many credit them for. Reminds me of similar efforts in 2017 blocking deportation of Muslim residents. How could the admin not imagine an even larger response this time around?

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

They'd really love to pull the trigger on the insurrection act but I don't think it works out the way they think it does

What we witnessed here on Tuesday in Minneapolis and what we are seeing now in Los Angeles we are going to see replicated in every blue city and blue state in the country because the federal government is at war against democratic power and the states.

Absolutely insane images coming out of Paramount today. Haven’t seen this level of response since 2020. Gonna be a long, hot summer

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got
